This book reads like a history book but is instead a book of speculative fiction. In that respect it is a Work of Art
The good: the author correctly imagines many social and political events that happened after the book was published (1982) which lead to the the prerequisites that he lays out for a Third World War.
The good: the book skillfully combines commentary on global events, that influence political and military strategy, with battlefield views of junior commanders
The bad: I’m a very fast reader, but found this book to be a slog to get through. I don’t know why.
